Amazon to expand in new Oxford Vancouver office

Amazon and Oxford Properties have inked a long-rumoured office lease in Vancouver which will allow the e-commerce giant to double its workforce from 1,000 to 2,000 in the West Coast city.

The announcement isn’t the highly coveted second headquarters Amazon is planning to build – the so-called HQ2 which received 238 bids from cities and regions across North America – but it is a significant addition to the city’s office market.
